On Labor day we decided to go hike Cummins Falls. The boys went not too long ago with our neighbors, but Ryan and I had never hiked to the bottom. There are lots of fossils at Cummins Falls. Josiah, especially, loves collecting all the fossils. The hike down was pretty good. It got a little steep and muddy toward the bottom, which is difficult. At one point, I just sat down completely to scoot my way down. There were lots of people there as well, so at times it was hard to maneuver around rocks, especially as we got closer to the waterfall. The kids loved the hike to the water fall. Mercy walked the whole thing and did NOT want to be carried at all. (Ryan had to carry her a little when we were on the slippery rocks.) Once we got to the falls, Aedan was the only one that really swam. The water was super cold! Here are some pictures of our day:

| This girl is all in! She did fall a couple times on the rocks, but got right back up! She's a tough cookie! |

| At the falls! You can see how many people were there with us! hahaha! A little crowded, which made it hard to get around all the rocks. The rocks closer to the waterfall were slippery at times, and the water moved more quickly in spots. |
